After losing at home to Lyon in their league opener, Lens managed to bounce back with an away win at Le Havre. This victory proves one thing: the team that will play ahead of schedule in the league on Friday has what it takes to have a good season.
Brest, on the other hand, has defensive problems: a 3-3 draw in their debut, then a 2-0 defeat at Toulouse. Five goals conceded in two games is too many, and even in the preseason, practically the same thing happened: a team unable to defend in the best possible way, a team that struggles to finish games without conceding goals.
So? So it’s clear that Lens are the clear favorites in this match: a challenge that the hosts should be able to win, and the odds are very tempting.
